Running partners, husband and wife Scott and Glenda Bailye are hoping to raise £5,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK by taking part in this year’s London Marathon and organising other money-making endeavours.

Their first fundraiser was a charity quiz at The New Plough on Leicester Road, Hinckley, hosted by Louise and Darren Lavender, which generated £450 for the cause.

Scott, 45, of Scott Bailye Hairdressing on Station Road, Earl Shilton, already has one London Marathon under his belt but it will be a first for wife Glenda, 51, who has a particular reason for running.

Last year Mr Bailye ran the London Marathon and raised £6,500 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry) which works to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening and research, as well as supporting affected families.
